(Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Shusaku Tagawa; hereinafter referred to as Energy Optimizer) conducts power buying and selling without going through the market (relative power trading) between retail electricity companies and power generation companies.

Due to the sharp rise in prices on the Japan Electric Power Exchange (hereinafter referred to as JEPX) triggered by the power crisis in January 2021, many retail electricity providers will be seriously damaged regardless of the proportion of their power procurement using JEPX. It was become a thing.
Although institutional discussions regarding the causes and countermeasures are still ongoing, there is a growing movement among retail electricity providers to explore ways to diversify power supply procurement and risk hedging methods.
Among these, JEPX is being promoted through direct contracts with power generation companies that are less affected by JEPX price fluctuations, such as fixed-price contracts, and power interchange with retail electricity providers, where excess procured power is delivered as flexible power sources. Procuring power through power transactions without intermediaries (negotiable transactions) is the most common and effective means of avoiding JEPX price risk, and small and medium-sized businesses alike are urged to utilize it.
